When John Muir attended the University of Wisconsin, he often visited the home of Dr. Ezra S. Carr. The warmth and kindness he received there, particularly from Mrs. Carr, a passionate botanist and nature lover, sparked a deep and lasting friendship. Muir considered Mrs. Carr his spiritual mother, and his heartfelt letters to her later in life reveal the depth of his character and the profound connection they shared. Most of these letters were penned from the breathtaking Yosemite Valley, where Muir juggled sheep-herding, guiding, and managing a sawmill to make a living, all while immersing himself in the study of glacial geology and celebrating the wonders of nature. - Summary from the preface of the book.
